I agree that bid increments should be more proportional to the actual range of the particular item. I thought this was how it already worked. ?? But I must admit, I tend to go for boxes and 10 packs when I buy here, so I am not usually exposed to bidding on singles and whatnot. |

It creates what is known as a “bid bubble”, and rewards those who get in early, and bid often. If that item is a good deal at $7, but not such a good deal at $10..........well, then ya should have got your bid in at $7! Or, be a Platinum Member and get the automatic 25 cent bid increment option on all auctions. |
